Wanna put my opinion into this Ozil/Alexis contract situation. First of all, I'll say this. Imo both will sign...

The only clubs one or the other would go to, would be a return to Real(Ozil), and Bayern(Alexis) in world football... Ozil wouldn't go Barca because of Madrid ties and Alexis, I doubt he would wanna go back to Barca when they treated him quite badly

Why there's talk over china, that's just dumb, and I doubt Wenger will ever do a RVP ever again.

Now why I think they will stay. Not only are the pair fan favorites, and key men for the team. If they get the wages which imo will be around the 200k mark, the club would only need to show ambition to fight for trophies. Spending 100+ mill imo has shown that intent. And plus look at how happy they are, ALEXIS WAS SMILING WHEN HE GOT SUBBED OFF, no one could pull that off bar Wenger

@Xgooner4everX
how about Ozil to Mu and Alexis to Mc
Ozil played under Jose(Real Madrid)
Alexis played under Pep ... (Barcelona)
If both Mu n Mc both offer huge amount, don't you think Arsenal would sell both players if the contract negotiations couldn't work it out ..
especially in Mu. looks like the missing piece is player like Ozil ..:(
if they had Ozil they could rule anywhere ...

Lol @Xgonner I love the way you guys like to make up things when it comes to Barca , you guys still hate us for the L's we have been handing you guys over last decade.

Anyways remind me when Barca treated Sanchez "Quite badly" ? , he played under three different managers at barca and was starter for all three , he never had any major beef with any teammates , board member , coaching staff or fans , as a matter of fact Barca as club accepted him as a starter over decent La Masia graduate , Pedro '. I don't recall an extended period of time where he was warming the bench for anything other then injury.

I hope you don't mean playing him wide as treating him badly , as I believe no sane person can conclude that Sanchez of that time was better then Messi of that time as false nine.

Had you said cesc I would have agreed to some extent but Sanchez was loved by most at Barca. Funny bit is one of the reason Sanchez is playing at Arsenal is because Barca was nice to him and agreed to accept arsenal's lower bid then Liverpool's bid, because Sanchez wanted to play for London based club.

😂😂😂😂😂 why would I bother about the many times Barca beating us in the past. In that time frame, you were one of the best teams ever, with some of the best players ever. Yet we still beat you at least once.

Best thing about football. It goes in cycles, clubs have period of massive of success, and then it drops :)

@Xgooner, there was no mention of " bad treatment " in the article you posted , he said he wanted a new challenge & not many players stay at one club for life time.

As for benching part , Alexis made total of 25 , 29 & 34 appearances for Barca during his three seasons at club , for arsenal he played 30 & 34 times for last two seasons.

Considering the time for adopting to our style and his him number of small injuries during his first season at Barca he played what a regular starter would play. Also you have to remember the fact that Sanchez is one of Arsenal main player , at times you guys tend to take risk and play him , which was not the case at Barca, we would wait for his 100% recovery.

I think Sanchez have developed a lot at arsenal because of additional responsibility and freedom he got , but his also developed a lot at Barca , his passing and positional play have improved immensely and he was able to adopt to Arsenal style thanks to spending time at Barca.

Lol Xgooner you got that completely wrong. Madrid treated Ozil badly as in didn't want to give him the contract he wanted so he left.

We wanted Alexis to stay but he wasn't sure about his spot so he came to Arsenal since we were going to get Suarez.

Oh and Alexis has always been this amazing. The reason we truly see his quality now because he's not under Messi's shadow. He's the main guy in Arsenal. In Barca often times you would see him try to set up his teammates rather than take players on. Once he got comfortable, he was one of our best players scoring 21 goals and assisting 11.

From being treated ‘like a king’ in Nigeria to being followed by an Arsenal fan in his car, life has changed dramatically for the young forward, who is benefiting from the advice of his uncle Jay-Jay Okocha
